Every database employed to generate the UCC is listed here, with a full description
of the modifications and corrections made before merging it in to our final catalogue.
The individual csv
files con be found here.
We split the file into two sections. First we show the 32 databases used in the original UCC article. After that, we show the databases that were added after the publication of the article.
Initial databases
1. KHARCHENKO2012
Kharchenko et al. 2012; Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way. I. The pipeline and fundamental parameters in the second quadrant
Retrieved the data from the HEASARC service selecting all clusters with
class
equal to OPEN STAR CLUSTER
, resulting in 2858 entries.
This DB lists the FSR clusters as “FSR XXXX” with leading zeros and the ESO clusters as “ESO XXX-XX” with leading zeroes.
Name changes:
- vdBergh-Hagen –> VDBH per CDS recommendation (added ‘vdBergh-Hagen’ so that the naming isn’t lost)
- vdBergh –> VDB per CDS recommendation (added ‘vdBergh’ so that the naming isn’t lost)
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- ESO 456-29 (Gran 1)
- FSR 1716
- FSR 1758
- VDBH 140,vdBergh-Hagen 140
We do not use the values listed here to generate the positions for the clusters in the UCC.
2. LOKTIN2017
Loktin & Popova 2017; Updated version of the ‘homogeneous catalog of open cluster parameters’
The Vizier table contains 1052 clusters.
Many proper motion values in this DB are very wrong (see e.g: NGC 2516). We thus do not use these values in the DB.
Contains 11 clusters with an extra name in parenthesis. These were fixed as follows:
- “Alpha_Persei, Melotte 20”
- “Collinder258, Har5”
- “Coma Star, Melotte 111”
- “Herschel1, ASCC41”
- “Hyades, Melotte 25”
- “NGC2645, Pismis6”
- “NGC2682, Melotte 67”
- “NGC3247, Cr220”
- “Pleiades, Melotte 45”
- “Praesepe, NGC2632”
- “Stephenson1, Del_L”
Name changes:
- VDBergh_Hagen –> VDBH per CDS recommendation (added ‘vdBergh-Hagen’ to 43 clusters so that the naming isn’t lost)
- VDBergh –> VDB per CDS recommendation
- Sauer5 –> Saurer 5
- Teusch61 –> Teutsch61
- AlessiJ2327+55 –> Alessi J2327.0+55
- Sigma_Ori –> Sigma_Orionis
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- berkeley42 (NGC 6749)
- lynga7 (BH 184)
The article says that: “also includes our 48 newly discovered and hitherto unknown poor open clusters” but the CDS table lists 54 named ‘LP_XX’ were XX goes from 01 to 55 (LP 03 is not present in the Vizier table). The last six entries are named ‘50A, 51A, 52A, 53A, 54A, 55A’ so these are probably from a previous article.
These entries share naming convention (LP) with Liu & Pang (2019) presented their new OCs with no formal ID assigned (only numbers)
3. CASTRO2018
Castro-Ginard et al. 2018; A new method for unveiling open clusters in Gaia. New nearby open clusters confirmed by DR2
The Vizier table contains 23 entries. No changes required.
4. BICA2019
Bica et al. 2019; A Multi-band Catalog of 10978 Star Clusters, Associations, and Candidates in the Milky Way;
The Vizier table contains 10978 entries. We keep only those with Class1 OC
(open
cluster) or OCC
(open cluster candidate). This reduces the list to 3564 entries.
Added RA_ICRS
and DE_ICRS
columns to the DB.
Fixes to duplicated entries:
- MWSC 2776, name listed twice –> removed one of the repeated names
- FSR 523, FSR 847, FSR 436 –> removed the duplicates that showed as single entries
- ESO 393-3 –> removed name from both entries (cluster not found in CDS)
- MWSC 1025, 1482, 948, 3123, 1997, 1840, 442, 1808, 2204: removed name from both entries (clusters not found in KHARCHENKO12)
- ESO 97-2 –> removed from Loden 848 as it matches the position of Loden 894 according to CDS
- FSR 972, OCL 344, Collinder 384, FSR 179 –> removed from both entries, it does not show in CDS or anywhere else
- MWSC 206 –> removed entry that also showed FSR 60 as the coordinates for FSR 60 are a better match in KHARCHENKO12 for the entry with the single FSR 60 name
Changes to names:
- BH –> VDBH per CDS recommendation
- vdBergh –> VDB per CDS recommendation
- FSR 429.MWSC 3667 –> FSR 429,MWSC 3667
- Carraro 1.MWSC 1829 –> Carraro 1,MWSC 1829
- Cernik 39 –> Czernik 39
- FSR343 –> FSR 343
- ESO456-13 –> ESO 456-13
- de Wit 1 –> Wit 1 (to match KHARCHENKO12)
- JS 1 –> Juchert-Saloran 1 (to match KHARCHENKO12)
- ESO 589-26,MW –> ESO 589-26
- Messineo 1,Cl 1813-18,SAI 126, –> Remove comma at the end
- Alessi J2327.6+5535 –> Alessi J2327.0+55
- TRSG 1 –> RSG 1
- Added ‘Dol-Dzim 9’ to ‘DoDz 9’ to match KHARCHENKO12
- Added ‘Dol-Dzim 11’ to ‘DoDz 11’ to match KHARCHENKO12
- Removed ‘Alessi J0715.6-0722’ as it is an OCC and its position matches that of ‘Alessi J0715.6-0727’
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- ESO 456-29,MWSC 2761 (Gran 1)
- ESO 93-8,MWSC 1932
- FSR 1758,MWSC 2617
- VDBH 140,vdBergh-Hagen 140,FSR 1632,MWSC 2071
Ryu clusters
This is the only DB that lists the Ryu & Lee (2018) clusters. The original article claims to have found 721 new OCs (923 minus 202 embedded). BICA19 (page 11) says that the Ryu & Lee article lists 719 OCs (921 minus 202 embedded). BICA19 lists in its Vizier table only 711 Ryu OCs, 4 of which are listed with alternative names (Teutsch J1814.6-2814|Ryu 563, Quartet|Ryu 858, GLIMPSE 70|Mercer 70|Ryu 273, LS 468|La Serena 468|Ryu 094). Hence there are 707 Ryu clusters in the final BICA19 Vizier table.
These are very small objects, Ryu & Lee (2018): “The average angular radius of the clusters is 1.3’. More specifically, 902 (98%) clusters are smaller than 3′, and 823 (89%) clusters are even smaller than 2′.”
5. SIM2019
Sim et al. 2019; 207 New Open Star Clusters within 1 kpc from Gaia Data Release
Data taken from Table 2 in the online article (contains 207 UPK clusters)
Added (ra, dec)
columns and a plx
column estimated as 1000/dist_pc.
6. CASTRO2019
Castro-Ginard et al. 2019; Hunting for open clusters in Gaia DR2: the Galactic anticentre
The Vizier table contains 53 UBC clusters. No changes required.
7. LIUPANG2019
Liu & Pang 2019; A Catalog of Newly Identified Star Clusters in Gaia DR2
The Vizier table contains 76 clusters with no acronym given. Neither Table 1 nor 3 in Vizier assign and ID to the entries, only numbers. They do describe the ID columns “Friend of Friend identifier”. Also, in the article Table 1 lists the ID column as ‘FoF ID’.
Added ‘FoF_’ to the entries’ IDs. This also matches the HUNT23 denomination.
8. FERREIRA2019
Ferreira et al. 2019; Three new Galactic star clusters discovered in the field of the open cluster NGC 5999 with Gaia DR2
The Vizier table contains 3 UFMG clusters and NGC 5999. This last cluster was removed in the initial version of the DB (don’t remember why).
Added (RA_ICRS,DE_ICRS)
columns (converted from h:m:s
and d:m:s
).
9. CASTRO2020
Castro-Ginard et al. 2020; Hunting for open clusters in Gaia DR2: 582 new open clusters in the Galactic disc
The Vizier table contains 570 UBC clusters.
Fixed wrong ra coordinates for UBC595 and UBC181.
10. FERREIRA2020
Ferreira et al. (2020); _Discovery and astrophysical properties of Galactic open clusters in dense stellar fields using Gaia DR2.__
The Vizier table contains 25 UFMG clusters. Added (RA_ICRS,DE_ICRS)
columns.
11. CANTAT2020
Cantat-Gaudin et al. 2020; Painting a portrait of the Galactic disc with its stellar clusters
The Vizier table contains 2017 clusters. This DB lists the FSR clusters as “FSR_XXXX” with leading zeros and the ESO clusters as “ESO_XXX_XX” with leading zeroes.
Changes to names:
- BH –> VDBH per CDS recommendation
- vdBergh_ –> VDB per CDS recommendation
- LP_ –> FoF_ to match the original work LIUPANG19
- Sigma_Ori –> Sigma_Orionis
12. HAO2020

The Vizier table contains 34 UFMG clusters.
14. HE2021
He et al. (2021); A catalogue of 74 new open clusters found in Gaia Data-Release 2
The Vizier table contains 74 with no acronym, added ‘HXHWL_’ to match HUNT23.
Added (RA_ICRS,DE_ICRS)
columns.
15. DIAS2021
Dias et al. 2021; Updated parameters of 1743 open clusters based on Gaia DR2
The Vizier table contains 1743 clusters. This DB lists the FSR clusters as “FSR_XXXX” with leading zeros and the ESO clusters as “ESO_XXX_XX” with leading zeroes.
The table lists 177 LIUPANG19 clusters because it includes clusters not listed as new by the authors. Changed ‘LP_’ to ‘FoF_’ for consistency. Removed the leading zero in ‘FoF_XXXX’. Cluster ‘LP_866’ was duplicated (LP_0866), removed the second entry.
Changes to names:
- BH –> VDBH per CDS recommendation
- vdBergh –> VDB per CDS recommendation
- Sigma_Ori –> Sigma_Orionis
The r50
column is listed with ‘pc’ units in Vizier, but it is degrees unit.
It also shows 4 clusters with very large r50
values which could be listed
in pc units:
Cluster DIAS21 CG20 BICA19

18. JAEHNIG2021
Jaehnig et al. 2021; Membership Lists for 431 Open Clusters in Gaia DR2 Using Extreme Deconvolution Gaussian Mixture Models
Changes to names:
- NGC 1976 –> Trapezium
- NGC 2451 –> NGC 2451B
- Changed ‘XDOCC-0Y’ to ‘XDOCC-Y’ to match HUNT23
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- Berkeley 42 –> NGC 6749
19. SANTOS2021
Santos-Silva et al. 2021; Canis Major OB1 stellar group contents revealed by Gaia
Data from Table 2 in the article lists 15 ‘CMa-‘ clusters (Vizier has no entries for the tables). This table lists two values for each fundamental parameter.
Contains two ‘FOF’ clusters.
20. TARRICQ2022
Tarricq et al. (2022); Structural parameters of 389 local open clusters
The Vizier table contains 467 clusters. This DB lists the FSR clusters as “FSR_XXX” with leading zeros and the ESO clusters as “ESO_XXX_XX” with leading zeroes.
Changes to names:
- BH_99 –> VDBH_99
- LP_ –> FoF_
21. CASTRO2022
Castro-Ginard et al. 2022; Hunting for open clusters in Gaia EDR3: 628 new open clusters found with OCfinder
The Vizier table contains 628 UBC clusters numbered starting at UBC 1001 to differentiate them from the UBC clusters found using Gaia DR2 in the previous articles.
22. HE2022
He et al. 2022; New Open-cluster Candidates Found in the Galactic Disk Using Gaia DR2/EDR3 Data
The Vizier table contains 541 with no acronym, added ‘CWNU_’. Replaced ‘—’ with ‘’ for RV values.
23. HE2022_1
He et al. (2022); A Blind All-sky Search for Star Clusters in Gaia EDR3: 886 Clusters within 1.2 kpc of the Sun
The Vizier table contains 270 new ‘CWNU_’ clusters. Removed Theia entries.
Changes to names:
- ESO_489-01 –> ESO_489_01
- vdBergh –> VDB per CDS recommendation
- Sigma_Ori –> Sigma_Orionis
- Changed ‘LP_’ to ‘FoF_’
24. HAO2022
Hao et al. 2022; Newly detected open clusters in the Galactic disk using Gaia EDR3
The Vizier table lists 704 ‘OC_’ clusters.
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- OC 0586 –> BH 140
25. LI2022
Li et al. (2022); LISC Catalog of Star Clusters. I. Galactic Disk Clusters in Gaia EDR3
The Zenodo table lists 61 ‘LISC_’ clusters. The table contains a column called
t/t_range
in Gyr, not sure what it represents.
26. HE2023
He et al. (2023); Unveiling hidden stellar aggregates in the Milky Way: 1656 new star clusters found in Gaia EDR3
The Vizier table contains 1656 with no acronym, added ‘CWNU_’. Added
(RA_ICRS,DE_ICRS)
columns.
27. HUNT2023
Hunt & Reffert (2023); Improving the open cluster census. II. An all-sky cluster catalogue with Gaia DR3
The Vizier table contains 7167 entries.
In the initial UCC version all the Theia entries were removed along with the moving groups. In version 231105 the Theia entries labeled as OCs were re-incorporated.
A total of 157 HSC clusters have center values that do not align with the medians of their members. Changed these centers to the members’ medians. In 25/02/06 the original (RA; DEC; GLON; GLAT) values were re-included in HUNT2023.csv (no changes required to the main UCC catalogue so new version was generated).
Rounded float values in several columns.
Removed Teutsch 182 because it is listed along with UBC 6 and these are the same OC according to BICA19. Also Teutsch 182 has wrong center coordinates.
Changes to names:
- BH –> VDBH per CDS recommendation
- vdBergh_ –> VDB_ per CDS recommendation
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- Palomar 2, 7 (listed as IC_1276) 8, 10, 11, 12
- ESO_452-11 (listed as 1636-283)
- Pismis 26 (Ton 2)
- Lynga_7 (BH 184)
- HSC 2890, HSC 134 –> Gran 3 and 4
HSC 2605 has very similar coordinates and proper motions to globular NGC 5139 but its parallax is different, so it was not removed.
Fixes:
- ESO_429-429 –> ESO_429-02 (according to CDS coords)
- CMa_2 –> CMa_02
- AH03_J0748+26.9 –> AH03_J0748-26.9
- Juchert_J0644.8+0925 –> Juchert_J0644.8-0925
- Teutsch_J0718.0+1642 –> Teutsch_J0718.0-1642
- Teutsch_J0924.3+5313 –> Teutsch_J0924.3-5313
- Teutsch_J1037.3+6034 –> Teutsch_J1037.3-6034
- Teutsch_J1209.3+6120 –> Teutsch_J1209.3-6120
28. QIN2023
Qin et al. (2023); Hunting for Neighboring Open Clusters with Gaia DR3: 101 New Open Clusters within 500 pc
Tables (provided by Qin & Chen) lists 101 ‘OSCN_’ clusters.
29. LI2023
Li & Mao (2023); LISC Catalog of Star Clusters. II. High Galactic Latitude Open Clusters in Gaia EDR3
The Zenodo table lists 56 ‘LISC’ clusters but only 35 are kept as “real” objects. The parallax distances are in very bad agreement with the the estimated distance moduli. These appear to either be MC clusters or not real clusters at all. HUNT23 recovers 0% of these clusters.
30. CHI2023
Chi et al. (2023); Identifying 46 New Open Cluster Candidates in Gaia EDR3 Using a Hybrid pyUPMASK and Random Forest Method
The table in the article (IOP) lists 46 clusters with no acronym, ‘CWWL_’ was added to match HUNT23.
31. CHI2023_1
Chi et al. (2023); LISC Catalog of Open Clusters.III. 83 Newly found Galactic disk open clusters using Gaia EDR3
The article mentions 83 clusters but only 82 are visible in the PDF. I sent an
email to zhongmuli@126.com but never got an answer. Added ‘LISC-III’ to the
names to match HUNT23. Added (RA_ICRS,DE_ICRS)
columns.
32. CHI2023_2
Chi et al. (2023); Blind Search of The Solar Neighborhood Galactic Disk within 5kpc: 1179 new Star clusters found in Gaia DR3
The table requested to the authors lists 1179 clusters. Added CWWDL following the convention by HUNT23 for DBs with no acronyms. Clusters CWWDL_3274 and CWWDL_3247 are very close.
Added after publication
DAMBIS1999
Dambis (1999); Space-age distribution of young open clusters and observational selection
The Vizier table lists 202 clusters.
Removed entries pointing to a GC: Lynga 7.
Changed names:
- NGC 1976 -> Trapezium
- van den Bergh 1 -> VDB 1
- vdB-Hagen 99 -> VDBH 99
Coordinates given by Vizier to Markarian 38 & 50 are wrong, fixed both.
CHEN2003
Chen et al. (2003); On the Galactic Disk Metallicity Distribution from Open Clusters. I. New Catalogs and Abundance Gradient
There are two tables listed in Vizier, Table 1 (119 rows) and 2 (144 rows),
with different columns and number of rows. I combined these tables into a single one
using the median for repeated (GLON, GLAT)
values and appending [Fe/H]
values
when repeated (some are very different).
vdB 1 –> VDB 1
Added columns (RA, DEC)
. Merged two entries that were present in both tables under
different names: ‘Melotte 111, Coma Ber’ and ‘Melotte 22, Pleiades’. The final table
contains 216 entries.
Fixed the following (GLON, GLAT)
coordinates manually because I suspect they are
incorrectly uploaded to Vizier:
Collinder 197: 261.7 +08.9 –> 261.7 +0.89 IC 1848 : 137.2 +00.1 –> 137.2 +1.00
KOPOSOV2008
Koposov et al. (2008); Automated search for Galactic star clusters in large multiband surveys. I. Discovery of 15 new open clusters in the Galactic anticenter region
Abstract: “From this analysis, 15 overdensities were confirmed to be new open clusters and the physical and structural parameters were determined for 12 of them”
Results: “We found that 11 stellar overdensities turn out to be new, optically-visible clusters”
Table 1 in the article lists 11 Koposov clusters and these are used here.
The remaining 4 clusters are listed in Table 2 as “new infrared embedded clusters” with central coordinates only.
GLUSHKOVA2010
Glushkova et al. (2010); Automated search for star clusters in large multiband surveys: II. Discovery and investigation of open clusters in the galactic plane
“We have found and verified 153 new clusters (…). Color excesses E(B-V ), distance moduli and ages were determined for 130 new and 14 yet-unstudied known clusters”
“All clusters from Table 1 having the other name according to Kronberger et al. (2006) or Froebrich et al. (2007), are listed neither in the database of open clusters (WEBDA) by Paunzen, Mermilliod (2009), nor in the catalog by Dias et al. (2002). That is why we consider them as a new clusters.”
Table 1: 130 entries (new clusters) Table 2: 23 entries (new embedded clusters) Table 3: 14 entries (yet-unstudied clusters)
Total of 167 entries in the three tables.
The Vizier page lists 194 objects. Tables 1, 2 and 3 entries are present in Vizier in its entirety. There are 27 extra entries in the Vizier table
The cluster ‘koposov41;fsr0839’ presents RA coordinates that are substantially different from those listed in the UCC for ‘FSR 0839’.
Koposov 41, FSR 839 (KOPOSOV2008): (90.9917, 30.26139)
; converted from Table 2 in article
FSR 0839 (UCC) : (90.958 , 30.236)
koposov41;fsr0839 (this DB) : (97.7417, 30.2614)
Since KOPOSOV2008 is previous to this article, I assume the RA coordinate is incorrect here.
Merged the Name
and OtherName
columns into a single Name
column.
BORISSOVA2011
Borissova et al. (2011); New Galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey
- Converted
RAJ2000, DEJ2000
in hms columns into degree values - Added ‘VVV-CL’ naming with leading zeroes
BORISSOVA2018
Borissova et al. (2018); New Galactic star clusters discovered in the disc area of the VVVX survey
- Combined the tables
tablea1
andtableb1
The Dist
column in Vizier is labeled as kpc
but it contains clearly pc
values.
The inverted parallaxes differ substantially from the distance values.
BOSSINI2019
Bossini et al. (2019); Age determination for 269 Gaia DR2 open clusters
The Vizier table lists 269 clusters.
Duplicates that were combined using their average values:
- ASCC124, Alessi37
- ASCC22, Ferrero11
- ASCC112, AlessiTeutsch11
- Harvard5, Collinder258
Renamed: ngc0188, ngc0752, ngc0381, ngc0225, ngc0581
to
ngc188, ngc752, ngc381, ngc225, ngc581
(removed leading zeroes)
DONOR2020
Donor et al. (2020); The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. IV. Abundances for 128 Open Clusters Using SDSS/APOGEE DR16
The Vizier table lists 128 clusters. Did not use the ages listed as they are from the MWSC database.
PERREN2022
Perren et al. (2022); An analysis of the most distant cataloged open clusters. Re-assessing fundamental parameters with Gaia EDR3 and ASteCA
The Vizier table lists 25 clusters.
HE2023_1
He et al. 2023; Survey for Distant Stellar Aggregates in the Galactic Disk: Detecting 2000 Star Clusters and Candidates, along with the Dwarf Galaxy IC 10
The Vizier table lists 2085 clusters, 28 of which are flagged as ‘GCC’ (GC candidate). These were removed leaving 2057 entries.
‘Ruprecht 123’ is listed twice as: ‘Ruprecht_123_v0’ & ‘Ruprecht_123’. Removed the ‘Ruprecht_123_v0’ entry as the RA value of the other entry was more similar to the values listed in the UCC. The final number of entries is 2056.
There are 20 ‘LP_XXX’ OCs that were renamed ‘FoF_XXX’, removing leading zeros.
CAVALLO2024
Cavallo et al. (2024); Parameter Estimation for Open Clusters using an Artificial Neural Network with a QuadTree-based Feature Extractor
The Vizier table lists 6413 entries. Removed all entries classified as ‘g’
(globular clusters, 116 entries) or ‘m’ (moving group, 145 entries). Entries with
no kind
info: Can-Battlo 1, UBC 92, UBC 93, UBC 94, UBC 95, UBC 96, UBC 97.
The DB contains now 6152 entries.
Removed entries pointing to a GC:
- Palomar 2, 8, 10, 11, 12
- Pismis 26 (Ton 2),
- IC 1276 (Palomar 7),
- 1636-283 (ESO 452-11)
- Lynga 7 (BH 184)
- HSC 2890 and HSC 134 (located very close to Gran 3 and 4)
The DB contains now 6141 entries.
Changes to Cluster

- Teutsch J1037.3+6034 –> Teutsch J1037.3-6034
- Teutsch J1209.3+6120 –> Teutsch J1209.3-6120
This DB contains ~900 entries with large differences (>10 arcmin) in its (ra, dec)
center coordinates compared to the UCC’s values (and/or large relative parallax
differences): 390 HSC, 208 Theia, 90 CWNU, 50 UPK, 26 OCSN, and others.
The author explains that their values com from the “mean values of the member’s coordinates”.
The Teutsch 182 / UBC 6 cluster
This catalogue inherits the HUNT23 objects, thus it includes Teutsch 182 classified as an open cluster. This object was removed from HUNT23 because it is the same cluster as UBC 6 according to BICA19. The coordinates I could find for these clusters are:
- BDCCT (Bruno’s Dirty Compilation of Clusterlike Things, 2013)

Summary:
According to the 2013 BDCCT catalog, the UBC 6 coordinates in later catalogues correspond to Teutsch 182.
BICA19 lists wrong (ra, dec) coordinates for Teutsch 182 and UBC 6, but correct galactic coordinates, which it classifies as the same cluster.
HUNT23 apparently inherits the coordinates for Teutsch 182 from BICA19, and the coordinates for UBC 6 from newer catalogues.
Hence, we remove the Teutsch 182 entry from the catalog because the UBC 6 entry contains the correct coordinates and matches the fundamental parameter values listed in other DBs.
